Borneo, the third largest island in the world, sits astride the equator and supports the oldest and tallest rainforest on the planet. It is a true biodiversity hot spot with 3,000 species of orchids, the world’s largest flower, and over 600 species of birds including 8 hornbills and at least 50 endemic species. Wallace’s line, which separates the Oriental and Australian faunal regions, lies just east of Borneo, so the birds and other animals are quite distinct from Australia and New Guinea. In addition, the mammals include Orangutan, Proboscis Monkey, and Dwarf Asian Elephants. Join Sid England and Randy Beaton for a photographic journey through the Malaysian part of the island from their birding and natural history adventure last year. Program starts at 7:30 p.m.
